Juliana
"Three hundred ounces..." whispered Parker as he smiled
"Three hundred and fifty thousand dollars."
"I'm so happy!"
"I bet!"
"I guess it's because you came."
"Me?"
"Yeah. We were having a bad season then you showed up and boom bang boom here's the gold!"
I giggled and he smiled at me. We arrived at his house around eight. We went inside. We had dinner and went to bed.

I've been here for a month now. I was up in my room while Parker was at work. I heard running through the house. My room door flung open. Parker was breathing heavily.
"Parker, what's wrong?" I asked as I went to him.
"Five hundred ounces..."
"Five hundred?"
"Yeah!"
"Oh, my god!"
He smiled. I jumped up and hugged him. He laughed.
"I can't believe it! You're my lucky charm! Five hundred ounces is over half a million dollars. Oh, god, I'm so happy!" said Parker as I jumped down.
"Is that from a month?"
"Yes, after that three ounces!"
"This is going to be a great season."
"Yes. I'm doing better than my boss Tony Beets."
"Tony Beets?" I repeated.
"Yeah. He's not fun to work with."
"He gave those twelve claims?"
"Well, I bought them."
"We should celebrate." I suggested.
"Really?"
"Yeah. What do you want to do?"
"We can go have some whiskey with my crew but you're nineteen."
"I can have soda. I don't care. This is huge!"
"Okay. I call Kyle and take a shower then you can take a shower."
"Okay."
Parker smiled and walked out. I gathered clothes for the celebration. I heard my phone ringing. I grabbed it.
"Hello?" I asked.
"So, how's it going?"
"Hi, mom."
"Hi. How's Parker?" She said.
"He's fine."
"Any smooching going on?"
"No, mom."
"You're going to get married in four weeks months you need to start kissing him!"
"Mom! What if I don't want to get married?!"
"You're getting married if you like it or not."
"I don't want to get married now!"
"Yes, now!"
I hung up my phone and threw it on my bed. I threw myself back onto my bed and groaned. My door opened.
"Your mom?" asked Parker with a towel around his waist.
"Yeah."
"I had the same exact conversation with my mom this morning. She came to the site."
"Really?"
"Yeah. She wants to meet you tomorrow for a dress fitting."
"Already?" I asked, sitting up.
"Yeah..."
"Damn it!"
"I know. Just get in the shower."
I nodded and got up. He stopped me and kissed my forehead. He walked out. WTF... I took a shower and got dressed in my nice purple shirt and pulled up my skinny jeans. I found my ankle boots and put them on. I was taller. I'm probably still shorter than Parker. I sprayed some perfume and walked downstairs.
"Wow..." whispered Parker as he buttoned up his shirt.
"Thanks..."
"You're fucking beautiful!"
"Stop it." I blushed.
"Why?"
"I don't want to be called that."
"But you are. I can't call you what you are?"
"I'm not beautiful so no! Let's go!"
"Okay."
Parker
I was really confused about what Juliana just said. Why doesn't she want to be called beautiful?
"What's the reason?" I asked
"Reason?" She questioned.
"Why don't you think you're beautiful?"
"Because I'm not..."
"But you are."
"Will you stop? I'm not and that's final!"
I stopped my truck and Juliana looked at me.
"What was that for?" asked Juliana as I put the truck in park.
"I'm going to say this once and once only! You are beautiful no matter what you say or some dipshit says! You're beautiful and I'm scared that you don't like me because I'm fucking ugly! If there's anyone that isn't as attractive it's me!"
I was close to her face. I pulled away fast and took the truck out of park. I drove off. I heard her sniffing.
"Fuck...I'm sorry." I whispered.
"Let me out."
"No. You're going to stay with me."
"You can't force me."
"I'm not forcing you. I can't hurt you and if I do my father will kill me."
"Okay...Parker I can't say I don't like you. I don't think you're ugly. You're the most sexiest guy I've talked to. I'm surprised you're even talking to me."
"Why wouldn't I talk to you?"
"Like I said I'm not beautiful."
"Wait...you think I'm sexy?"
Juliana giggled and turned towards the window. I chuckled and made it to Kyle's house. We got out and I rang the doorbell. The door opened.
"Hey! Come in." said Kyle
"Thanks, man." I smiled.
"Hi, Juliana." smiled Kyle.
"Hi, Kyle." Juliana smiled as I slid my hand down her back.
She gasped and she slapped my hand. I chuckled. We walked inside. I helped her take off her jacket and hang it up.
"Why'd you do that?" Juliana
whispered
"You know you liked it."
"Shut up."
I laughed as we walked to the living room. She sat down and I sat next to her. Kyle came with some drinks
"Here's your whiskey and here's your soda since you're under age." said Kyle.
"Thanks for pointing that out." said Juliana.
"It's my job." laughed Kyle.
"So, is anyone else coming?" I asked.
"Yeah." said Kyle as the doorbell rang.
Kyle stood up and walked to the front door. I ran my hand across Juliana's leg. She gasped and slapped my hand.
"Stop it!" whispered Juliana.
"Nope."
She stared at me as I laughed. I took a sip of my whiskey. Kyle came in with a girl.
"Juliana, Parker this my fiancé, Megan." smiled Kyle.
"Hi." I said.
"Hey." said Juliana.
"I'm so happy to see my Kyle!" Megan smiled as she hugged Kyle.
I looked Juliana and she looked at me. Kyle gave her some whiskey. She got tipsy really fast.
"I love you so much..." giggled Megan.
"Oh, god..." whispered Juliana.
"Give me that bottle, babe!" giggled Megan.
"Slow down on the whiskey." said Kyle as he handed it to her.
She chugged it down. She was definitely drunk now.
"Should we go?" whispered Juliana.
"I'm not sure yet." I whispered.
"Give me that dick." said Megan.
"Oh, fuck." I said.
"Whoa, babe. We have guests." said Kyle.
"Then come on." said Megan as she got up.
She dragged Kyle upstairs. The door shut. Juliana looked at me. It was silent then Megan started moaning.
"We should get out of here." I said
"Yeah."
We grabbed our jackets and walked to my truck. I drove off.
"Kyle never mentioned he had a fiancé let alone a girlfriend." I said.
"She didn't seem like his fiancé."
"Really?"
"Yeah. 'Give me that dick'?"
"You got a point."
We made it home and got out of my truck. We went inside.
